Not the immersive manager i game i know.

[Steve B]

I've played FM since CM 97/98, every year I buy it and become lost in the fictional world which pulls you in. I cannot explain what has happened this year, but it feels like im part of a game that 1, I have little control of, and 2, gives no satisfaction whatsoever. This isn't because I've not had success on 14, i have but it somehow does not feel personal as daft as that sounds. On every previous version signing a player, whether it be Damiao and Suarez on 13 for my spurs squad, or on my other save on 13 as port vale getting a young starlet on loan, transfers felt real somehow, and gave a sense of achievement when pulled off. This year i don't feel anything. Signed some good players with spurs, none felt like an achievement, none particularly hard to pull off, and not had me planning how i would fit them in tactically. Which leads me to tactics...AWFUL! As i say I've had decent success with spurs so far, but the tactics i implement bare no resemblance on what i watch on the terrible match engine. Team/player instructions may aswell not exist. I could go on, maybe its just me. BUT I MISS THE OLD FM THAT SUCKED YOU IN, SO MUCH SO THAT ID WATCH FOOTBALL ON TV AND THINK 'WHY IS HE PLAYING FOR THEM' OR SEEING A YOUNGSTER COMING THROUGH WHO YOU'VE NURTURED ON THE GAME AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT! Maybe im bonkers, but to me it just doesn't feel personal. It feels like a game, which ridiculously it is. Just for the last 17 years it somehow hasn't.
